How do you improve on perfection? By adding two strings plus interchangeable crowns and feet, giving the harp 4 different looks!

Introducing the Prelude 40, now with 40 strings to accommodate a larger range of music. Designed with the performance artist in mind, this romantic classic features a solid spruce soundboard for a rich, warm tonal quality, Lyon & Healy's Performance Levers, and 40 strings ranging from 1st Octave G to 6th Octave A. Includes interchangeable scalloped brass crown and matching claw feet. Having interchangeable pieces also allows you to customize the look of your Prelude 40 to your individual taste and complement the classical appearance of the Prelude’s graceful base and delicately fluted column.

Artistically styled with the elegance of the pedal harp, the Prelude 40 features the same string spacing and tension as a pedal harp.

As of 8:30 this morning, we had the following Preludes in stock. Click "Add to Basket" to add one of these harps to your on-line shopping cart. You will then be able to go to our on-line accessory store where you can purchase additional items like a bench, tuner, harp cart or sheet music. We usually ship Preludes using a trucking company. We will contact you with a specific shipping estimate before we ship your harp.

If you would like to try one of these harps in person, please contact us by telephone or email to let us know you are coming so we can reserve a time slot for you in our harp showroom.

If one of our in-stock finishes does not meet your needs, you may reserve one of the new Preludes we currently have on order with the factory. A 10% deposit will hold the harp for you. We will contact you when your harp is ready at the factory; the balance will be due when the harp is shipped.
